Description

  The present invention relates to an accessory that includes a core material through a decorative body such as a pearl.

As accessories such as necklaces and bracelets, there are those in which pearls, jewelry, glass balls, beads, etc., which are decorative bodies, are inserted into the core material. Sewing thread is generally used for the core material of such accessories. In order to prevent the decorative body from coming off from the core material, the ends of the thread are tied to form a ball-shaped retaining portion, and a fastener is attached to the retaining portion.
The necklace described in Patent Document 1 is not a thread, but is rich in elasticity, and a decoration ball is passed through a core material such as a rigid metal wire. Since this necklace has elasticity, it is attached around the neck by expanding the both ends of the core material, and then loosening the core material to narrow the gap between the ends of the core material. Multiply. Since the core material has rigidity, the shape of the necklace can be determined in advance at the time of manufacture, and the shape is maintained even during use.

Utility Model Registration No.3031506

Jewelry, such as necklaces, that use thread as a core material hangs down under the influence of gravity when hung around the neck, and all of them have the same shape. In addition, the necklace described in Patent Document 1 can retain a preset shape because the core material is rigid, but the shape of the necklace cannot be freely changed by the user or the like. That is, the conventional accessory has a problem that the degree of freedom in shape is poor.
In order to solve such a problem, an object of the present invention is to provide an accessory that can freely change its shape at any time and can maintain the shape.

The accessory according to the claims is characterized in that the decorative body is passed through a core material capable of maintaining a shape so as to be continuous along a three-dimensional curve formed by the user.
Here, accessories include necklaces, earrings, bracelets, etc. that can be worn on the user's body, as well as anything that can be attached to clothes, bags, etc. Decorative bodies include pearls, jewelry, glass balls, and other core materials. Anything with a hole to pass through. Moreover, the core material which can hold | maintain shape refers to the metal or synthetic resin core material which the user can change the shape freely with a finger | toe, and also the shape is maintained.

  With such an accessory in which a core material capable of maintaining the shape is passed through the decorative body, the user can freely and easily transform the accessory into a desired shape at any time in a three-dimensional manner. The deformation is not limited to the time of manufacture or sale, but can be easily realized by the user's fingers, and the deformed shape is maintained. Therefore, various shapes can be selected and used according to TPO and mood, and it can be enjoyed as a highly decorative accessory. It is economical because one accessory can be used in many ways. In addition, since accessories that are different from ordinary accessories are not visible from the outside, there is also an advantage that they can be used even in formal situations without a sense of incongruity.

  The accessory of the invention according to claim 2 is characterized in that a synthetic resin made core material is used as the core material capable of maintaining the shape.

Since the core material made of synthetic resin capable of maintaining the shape is inexpensive, it is possible to provide the jewelry as described above that can be changed and retained in shape at a low cost. In addition, since the resin core is lightweight, there is little burden on the wearer. Furthermore, since the core material is made of resin, there is an advantage that the decorative body is hardly damaged even if the accessory having a relatively soft decorative body is deformed.
The jewelry according to claim 3 is obtained by passing a plurality of decorative bodies such as pearls, jewels and glass balls through a synthetic resin core material capable of maintaining the shape, and this also has the same advantages as described above.

  The accessory of the invention according to claim 4 is characterized in that a plurality of pearls are passed through a synthetic resin core material capable of maintaining a shape.

As described above, when a plurality of pearls are used as a decorative body and a synthetic resin made of a synthetic resin is used as a core material capable of maintaining the shape, it is particularly advantageous as a jewelry. That is,
・ Pearls are softer than jewels and glass balls such as diamonds, so they are easily damaged by contact with the core material and adjacent pearls, and cracks and peeling of the pearl layer may occur from the damaged part. If it is made of resin, it is difficult to damage the pearls, and it is difficult for cracks and peeling to occur.
-In order for an accessory having a plurality of decorative bodies to hold its shape against gravity, the core material needs to have a certain thickness (compared to a normal thread). Since pearls are easier to process larger holes than jewelry, it is not difficult to pass a thicker core.
-Since the pearl and the resin core are lightweight, the load due to gravity is small, so the set shape can be kept stable for a long time.
・ If the shape is kept stable, the relative displacement between the pearl balls is minimized, which also prevents the pearls from being damaged.
-A beautiful sphere of individual pearls and a three-dimensional curve with a series of pearls along a shape-maintaining core material, resulting in an elegant appearance.

  The accessory of the invention according to claim 5 is that the end portion of the resin core material passed through the decorative body is heated and melted to form a ball-shaped retaining portion, and the retaining bracket is covered with a coupling fitting. Features.

If the core made of synthetic resin is too thin, it will be difficult to maintain the shape of the accessory due to the weight of the decorative body, so it is unavoidable to use a thicker one than the generally used thread or metal core. If the core is thick, it is difficult to tie, and the resin core is easier to unwind because it is slippery than the thread or metal core. Therefore, it is difficult to tie the ends of the resin core material to prevent the resin core material from coming off.
As described in claim 5, it is very easy to melt the resinous core material into a ball, and it is also possible to securely hold the decorative body so as not to come off. If the connecting metal fitting is attached so as to sandwich the melted ball-shaped retaining part, the accessory can be attached to clothes or the like using the metal fitting.

The accessory according to the invention can be freely deformed at any time and can retain its shape, so that it has excellent decorativeness and high utility value.
When a resin-made core material capable of retaining the shape is used as in the accessory according to claim 2, it is difficult to damage the decorative body passed through the core material, and it is lightweight and inexpensive. The same applies to the accessory of Claim 3.
The accessory according to claim 4 can be enjoyed by maintaining the shape of the pearl in a free shape without losing the beauty of the pearl.
The accessory according to the fifth aspect can form the stopper and the connecting portion by a simple process so that the decorative body does not easily come off.

FIG. It is an external view which shows the retaining part 3a etc. of the core material 3. It is a general view which shows the accessory 11 which is another embodiment of the accessory which concerns on a device. It is a general view which shows the example which changed the accessory 11 of FIG. 4 into another form. It is a general view which shows the example which changed the accessory 11 of FIG. 4 into another form.

One Embodiment of the jewelry which concerns on invention is described based on FIGS.
The accessory 1 is a series of necklaces in which a plurality of pearls 2 as decorative bodies are passed through a core material 3 capable of maintaining a shape.

The pearl 2 is a substantially spherical natural pearl, and has a through hole (not shown) at the center.
The core material 3 is made of a synthetic resin, and here, a shape-maintaining core material having a circular cross section that is commercially available for handicrafts is used. Polyolefin (polyethylene) yarns are commercially available that have improved plastic deformation performance in terms of material or manufacturing. The core material 3 has the property of being plastically deformed by the force of fingers or the like, and can retain its shape when deformed. If the core material 3 is too thin, the weight of the connected pearls 2 makes it difficult to maintain the shape of the accessory 1, so the core material 3 is thicker than the yarn used as a normal core material. Therefore, it is necessary to make the through-hole opened in the pearl 2 larger than usual. Here, a hole having a diameter of φ1.2 mm is formed in the pearl 2, and the core material 3 having a diameter of φ1.1 mm is passed through the hole.

After passing the pearl 2 (see FIG. 2), the end portion of the core material 3 is heated and melted at an appropriate position to form a ball shape as shown in FIG. 3 to form a retaining portion 3a.
The retaining portion 3a is attached so as to cover a commercially available general connection fitting (not shown). By fastening both ends of the core material 3 with connecting metal fittings, the accessory 1 can be hung on the neck or the like.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the accessory 1 can be formed by twisting the portions that hang down from the neck, so that it can be compared with a conventional necklace that tends to hang down due to gravity. The decorativeness is enhanced. Further, for example, the user can be bent again in a shape different from that shown in FIG. Therefore, unlike a conventional necklace or the like whose shape is fixed by a rigid core, the accessory 1 can be enjoyed in various shapes according to TPO and mood. Since the core material 3 is made of resin, it is difficult to damage the through-holes of the pearl 2 when changing the shape of the accessory 1, so that the pearl 2 is not easily cracked or peeled off.

FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of the accessory according to the invention.
4 includes a plurality of pearls 2 passed through a resinous core material 3 capable of maintaining a shape, and is configured as a series of earrings. Both ends of the core material 3 through which the pearl 2 is passed are made into an annular shape, and the end portion of the core material 3 is melted in the same manner as described above to form a ball-shaped retaining portion (not shown). A connecting metal fitting 4 for attaching to the ear is attached to the retaining portion.
In the case of the earring-type accessory 11, the size of the decorative body 2 is small and the number of the ornaments 2 is small, so that it is lightweight. Here, a through hole having a diameter of 0.8 mm is formed in the pearl 2 and a core material 3 having a diameter of 0.7 mm is passed through the hole.

  In the state of FIG. 4, the accessory 11 is also more decorative than the conventional earrings using a thread as a core material by twisting the hanging portions in the same manner as the accessory 1 of FIG. 1 described above. .

  The accessory 11 can be transformed into a tear drop type as shown in FIG. 5, or can be transformed into a circular shape as shown in FIG. In any case, the user can define and hold the shape at any time according to his / her preference.

  Although not shown in the drawings, the decorative body is not limited to the above-described pearl as long as it can be passed through the core material 3. For example, a cut black diamond or crystal glass can be used. The shape of the decorative body does not have to be round. Moreover, as accessories, it is good also as structures other than the necklace and earring which were shown to embodiment.
